For those of you who don't know I have a very active film scouting business that is happily run buy a team of film students as well as photographers looking to network in the film industry. With that said I am just the rain maker bringing my network leads that are already in place from my time working in location. See a production company will call and asks for sometimes the possible as well as the impossible and I usually just give it to the team and they run with it(and I mean run), but this one has got us stumped mainly because the producers don't want snow!!!! I have this location all day with snow but during the time of their shooting in March - April and it is still very cold and unpredictable snow at that time in my county.
Now it is for their spring catalogue so we don't want those lovely models running around in shorts with snow flurry do we?
Well here I am pleading to my friends on ActiveRain : ) it doesn't have to be in Placer County so think outside the box this place has to be out there anywhere. Below is a picture of what they want it to possibly look like and they will be shooting inside and outside as well as the producers description.
Hi - below includes a general description of the type of locations we are looking for on our upcoming photo shoot that is scheduled for the week of March 8 - 14.
1) quaint residential city streets, charming townhouses, old fashioned cafes and parks in San Francisco or any other surrounding towns/cities in the Bay Area/Northern California (Sausalito, Santa Cruz...etc)
2) farm/ranch - rolling hills, well kept farm house vs rundown/rustic barns
3) Frank Lloyd Wright or American Craftsman inspired architecture (see attached for example) on expansive grounds/large estate
4) Old World Estate - references include "Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills" or "Filoli Gardens" (no red brick, prefer stone)
I know my direction is very broad however the Art Director is not exactly sure what type of location will work with these clothes and once we start looking through your locations it will hopefully be easier for us to narrow down what we are looking for. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to looking through your location files!
Best,
Liz
